collar

My son nateman (nathaniel) who is now almost 13 months old has torticoislis he has had the helmet was told he needed another 6 more months with it but my medical card will not cover and he cost 2500 dollars money no1 has to give however he was in physical therapy when he was just a couple months old it didnt help now he is backin it with another physical therapist from another hospital and this man comes to my house twice a month to see nateman he is really good with my son but now he is talking about putting nateman in a collar he has a 15 degree tilt with his head and was told that in some cases not all if we cant get his head tiltedthe right way he can get scoliosis and when he is old enought o drive he can have problems doing so the right side of the back of the head is a little bigger than the left and that is why he still has the tilt it worries me that he has these problems and wonder what other long term problems he can have if not corrected we have opt for the collar

Get the collar!!! Physio wasn't working to correct my son's Torticollis and we got the collar for him. Five months later he is completely fixed, his Torticollis is completely gone and you would never know he had it. The collar was the only thing that worked for us! I highly recommend it.

We've also used the TOT collar with some success. My daughter's tort is very severe so we're still working on it. I put a little baby leg warmer over the collar and my daughter tolerated wearing it much better when the plastic wasn't touching her skin. Good luck! I will post some pictures of her wearing her collar with the baby leg warmer on it.
